CHARLOTTE, N.C. A two alarm blaze at the Renaissance Lofts Condos in NoDa has left eight people homeless.
Flames broke out at a condominium complex along Donatello Avenue near North Davidson Street just after noon. The fire burned from the patio of a fourth story unit. Officials say it traveled up the outside of the building and to the roof, completely negating the sprinkler system.
I walked out in the exact opposite direction then just immediately you see a lot of flames shooting out of the balcony, said neighbor Peter Gendy.
That balcony belonged to Stephanie Laczko.
I called my roommate while I was at work and it happened to be the time it was burning so I rushed home and this is where I am now, she said.
It took more than 45 firefighters about 30 minutes to bring the fire under control.
Four units were damaged either by the fire or water, but no one was injured. The Red Cross was assisting eight displaced residents.
One of the scarier moments for onlookers was when a firefighter climbing on a ladder slipped. Jason Stevens was watching from below.
So three or four firemen were climbing on the ladder and it was second to the last one he got hung up on the top of the ladder and fell on the roof, but he caught himself Stevens said. It's got to be 50 feet -- it was pretty scary.
Officials say there was no danger of the fireman falling to the ground.
The cause of the fire is simply a cigarette butt burning in a planter. Now Laczko is wondering what she will have left.
I honestly don t want to think about it. They said it was mostly outside so hopefully not too much damage inside, she said. [It] should be alright, I hope.
Firefighters say the blaze should serve as a warning about dry and windy conditions and the importance of properly disposing of smoking materials.

Just two years into his three-year contract with the Western Force in the Super 14, Sharpe announced he would consider following the likes of former Wallabies Toutai Kefu, Chris Whitaker and Matt Burke to see out their careers overseas.
"I think I've got to take it year by year," Sharpe told www.rugbyexclusive.com. "I'm going to have to look at it after the World Cup, how my body is going and how I'm feeling mentally.
"I'm off contract in 2008 and that will be the first time that I will seriously consider moving off-shore. It will become a line-ball decision as to what I do."
Sharpe made it clear he is not disenchanted with his current team, despite finishing at the bottom of the Super 14 table in its inaugural year with the big 29-year-old as skipper.
"I'm loving playing at the moment and that's a pretty good sign," he said.
"I guess I'll have to see how I'm playing and if I'm enjoying the game, but 2008 presents a huge amount of options for me to look at."
The 54-Test veteran indicated his main goals for this year was helping the Force to a better year in the Super 14 and the World Cup in France before organising his future.
"That's something that I'll reassess after the World Cup and go from there," he said. "I'm starting to put the feelers out and see how things shape up from there.
"It's pretty exciting. To be in that situation is always a bit daunting, but definitely for me, obviously, the World Cup is the point where I know I'm going. After that I'll consider my options and weigh them up."
In the meantime, Sharpe will be looking at motivating the Force in their match against the Stormers in Cape Town this weekend after the Aussies suffered a demoralising 8-7 loss to the Highlanders in Perth in the opening round of this year's Super 14.
"The guys are looking forward to the challenge. There is general disappointment at how we played against the Highlanders. You can expect a big turnaround," added Sharpe.

I see it is for Win8 apps. But does it work for other stuff, like Silverlight 5 apps as well?
Not to be a stick in the mud, but what about Media Center with Satellite feed instead of cable? What are the choices for this type of setup?

Everybody loves Pixar movies (okay, except for those Cars ones), but graphic designer Risa Rodil decided to show her love for the films in a way that puts your Tumblr'd Toy Story GIFs and Facebook'd Up clips to shame: her "Pixar Lettering Series," which renders inspirational quotes from Pixar films in the graphic style of the movie in question. You'll find a few of our favorites after the jump; head over to her website or Behance gallery to see them all. … Read More

10 Bizarre Interiors Inspired by Pop Culture
Vanna Bonta, the space traveling author, award-winning poet, and notable inventor of the lovesuit to promote sex in space and other similarly weightless environments, keenly observed that "popularity is not an indication of quality." Case in point: Pikachu-inspired cars and engagement photos ala The Phantom Menace. We're now adding over the top interiors to our growing list of unfortunate achievements by pop culture aficionados the world over. From an exact recreation of the Starship Enterprise's famous flight deck in a London flat to a baby's nursery inspired by The Dharma Initiative from Lost, click through to check out some of the most bizarre interiors that take obsession to another level entirely. … Read More
Breathtaking Photos of Flying Houses
Reader, we think that we've finally found something to replace our obsession with tiny houses — at least momentarily. Flying houses! Like Dorothy's airborne farmhouse in The Wizard of Oz or Carl Fredricksen's floating Victorian in Up, the buildings in Laurent Chehere's Flying Houses series defy gravity and take to the skies thanks to the magic of Photoshop. That said, most of the dwellings in his manipulated photos aren't exactly what we'd call cozy. One of them has no windows, while another appears to also house a McDonald's. And then there's the one that's on fire… Still, flying houses! Click through to check them all out now. … Read More
Awesome Movie-Inspired Nail Art
Okay, okay, so we've gotten a little bit obsessed with the whole pop-culture nail art trend in the past few weeks. We've run through our nail polish remover stores and our trash cans are filled with Q-tips from attempting pretty tributes to our favorite books, TV shows, and musicians. But that won't stop us from rounding out our extensive collection with a roundup of nail art odes to what's arguably the most popular form of entertainment of all — the silver screen. Though the fangirl nail artists out there seem to prefer comedies and animated flicks to interpreting Casablanca on their digits, we still think some of these manis are destined to be classics. Take the big screen to the tiny screen (that's right, your pinky finger) with some of our favorite film-inspired nail art after the jump. … Read More
Real-Life 'Up' House to be Home for Cute Movie-Loving Couple
Since popular Pixar film Up hit screens in 2009, there has been more than one homage to its iconic flying house. The best — or at least the most realistic — of these, a house built in Utah to look almost exactly like its animated counterpart, has just been sold to two self-described… Read More
Pop Culture-Inspired Engagement Photos
Love can make you do some crazy things. And we're not just talking about what happens when you fall for another person — just look at the legions of Twihards who camped out for days to catch a glimpse of the red carpet at last week's premiere of Breaking Dawn. But you know what's even more unpredictable? What will happen you bring two culture vultures with a mutual passion together, and give them free reign to visually celebrate their relationship and their shared obsession. Imaginations run wild, and the resulting photos can range from giggle-inducing to surprisingly touching — and in some cases, they're a little bit of both. Need pictorial proof? Check out the collection of tradition-bucking engagement shots that we've rounded up after the jump. … Read More

Required Viewing: Films That Will Sate Your Mid-Fall Wanderlust
Stuck in that season between summer and the holidays that breeds stir craziness in even the most balanced of people, it's easy to feel the pang of wanderlust. But sometimes a living room couch or movie theater is as far as our paychecks and vacation-day allotments will take us. If you're itching to get out and get lost, these movies, filmed and set in phenomenal locations, will satisfy at least one of your senses and tide you over until you can get away for real. … Read More
Fake Logos From Fictional Companies on Film and TV
We came across Fauxgo, a new blog by Tymn Armstrong dedicated to chronicling the fictional logos used in television and film, over at Swissmiss, and we're not ashamed to say that after racing through it we've spent a significant amount of time thinking of all of the other "fauxgos" we've seen on screen. Logos are one of those things that you often internalize without thinking very much about, but they're meant to instantly evoke the company they represent on sight, so it's pleasantly confusing to be faced with a logo you think you don't recognize but has definite sense-memory associations attached. And it's even better when those associations revolve around Michael Scott. Click through to see some of our favorite fauxgos, and head over to the site for even more. … Read More

By now, the majority of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2's playable characters have been revealed. However, that only scratches the surface of the characters gamers will encounter over the course of the story. In this recurring feature, we're going to reveal new characters that you'll encounter in MUA 2. We can't reveal just what those roles might be. Are they on your side? Will you stand against them on the field of battle? Perhaps they have another side to take? So while the involvement of these various heroes and villains is a mystery, we will shed light on their personal histories and just what they've been up to in the comics lately.
Stay tuned - we have three weeks of these bios planned!
Real Name: Lucas Bishop
First Appearance: Uncanny X-Men #282 (1991)
Basic Powers: Bishop is a soldier skilled in many forms of armed and unarmed combat. His mutant power allows him to absorb energy and redirect it, usually in the form of powerful blasts from his hands. Bishop's mechanical right arm also hides many defensive tools and enables him to travel through time.
Trivia: Bishop is the great-grandson of Gateway, an Aboriginal mutant who also has a great deal of experience with time travel.
Origin: 80 years into the future, relations between humans and mutants are even worse than they are today. Lucas Bishop grew up in the harsh prison camps of the day, with only the vague legends of the X-Men to sustain him. As an adult, Bishop parlayed his thirst for justice and order into a job as an X.S.E. police officer. When Bishop pursued the rogue X.S.E. agent Trevor Fitzroy into the past, he found himself stranded among the X-Men who had inspired him.
Bishop has remained a constant presence with the X-Men, though his role has often varied over the years. Above all, this mutant is devoted to ensuring that his terrible future never comes to pass. Much to the chagrin of his teammates, Bishop has often sided with the establishment rather than against it, which put him at odds with the X-Men during Civil War.
Recent Activity: When the mutant baby Hope was born, Bishop was the only X-Man who didn't celebrate. Bishop firmly believes Hope is the one who will bring about the downfall of the mutant race and usher in the oppressive regime that ruined his childhood. Bishop has devoted every waking moment to hunting baby Hope and her protector Cable across the centuries. Though he has murdered countless innocents in his quest, Bishop firmly believes the end will justify the means.

This could have been a decent game, But the Publisher has embraced open cheating and hacking . Even selling items that encourage players to cheat, Hack and exploit all aspects of this game. The Coliseum exploit: This is done by placing the players all on one team and then bringing in low level alts. The alts then are forced to DC ( i.e. computer turned off ) Thus letting the other team win the match by default. The winning team then gets exp and items called blood gifts, which are used to buy so called PVP gear. This gear has stupid defense against other players and all forms of their attacks. g-Pot the publisher knew of this and instead of correcting it they have embraced it and raised the level to wear the PvP gear above the current level cap. Never fear the cash shop sells a item that gives these exploiters a virtual 5 levels which allows them to equip said PvP gear. Thus g-Pot has made it so those few players that used this exploit are now unstoppable in the Coliseum. Speed Hack : This was also known of by the publish during CBT and they have chosen to do nothing about it. This allows those uber equiped PvP'ers (Sarcasm) to be on top of any players they can sucker into a Coliseum match, before they are even fully loaded into the match. Result is mass slaughter and no chance to do anything but die respawn and die again. g-Pot is making a quick buck off these lifeless exploiters and has no intrest in keeping this game alive and fair to newer players. The so called PvP'ers are now getting bored and roaming in bands killing everyone trying to play the game for content or enjoyment. g-Pot still does nothing but sell a item that allows the roam hoards of uber gear Azzhats to remove the stigma of PK'ing lower level players. Again g-Pot has put profits short term over creating a viable and Playable game. Players are leaving in droves and this game is not long for this area. The coruption and compliance of g-Pot in this is most troubling. |
Gpotato is one of (if not the most) corrupt F2P publisher out there. It's a damn shame that they've gotten some really awesome F2P games with potential (lookin' at you, Allods) and ruined them with sheer greed. They've been proven time and time again to be a corrupt company that screws their playerbase over on a regular basis, yet they still get prime advertising on sites such as this one. I love the F2P model, I do. But companies like Gpotato give it a horribly bad name. And sites like MMORPG.com continue to accept ad money from said companies, not giving a crap HOW much they screw over their playerbase. I'll probably get banned/infracted for saying so, but I'm really beyond caring at this point. BTW I'm looking at a GIANT banner ad for Prius Online right now. I love irony :) |
I was going to say, "Hey, don't knock this game, for once GPotato came out with something interesting." Until I remembered my own experience with it, and completely read the OP's post. Thus far, I have yet to see even on game by GP that is even worth the time and effort. In regards to any of GP's PVP system in any game, enter at your own risk. Your always better off avoiding that. Even then, good luck with finding any quests after a certain level. You will always end up having to level grind since you run out to quickly. Which is a shame, because Prius did appear to have a terrific storyline, which is rare with most FTP games. Oh well, chalk this up as another must avoid, since this is GPotato that published it. |
Was a decent Demo but some of the SOLO quests are too tough to complete alone. Game deleted due to this extremely ridiculous trash. Yet another promising game from G-Tater that turns to a pile of trash! DOH! :( |
haha gpotato and pvp... its like dry humping a cheese grater. their pve games are ok. there are far better options for f2p though. have you checked out eden eternal? its actually pretty fun. |
Originally posted by Foomerang I was beta testing that one actually. It's not bad given the colors are way to bright for me, and it looks way to toony. Perfect for the kids. But not to bad. Interesting class switching system. |
yeah its kinda Pokemonish, but its fairly polished and is easy to jump into and have a little fun. I mean its no Dungeon Fighter hehe. |
Wasn't this game previously released and had all the same problems? |
LOL the intro was so terrible. All sorts of problem in the intro, text out of screen, no voice, simple and sometime nonsense sentences, confusing conversation and plots. I almost quit b4 intro was over |

Stop stealing pictures from my site. Take your own.
To anyone receiving a new unit with an Aerial adaptor cable, I would check the adaptor cable very carefully; mine was shorted at one end and intermittently shorting at the other end.
I wont comment on the assembly of this lead, and just to ward off any suggestions that I may not know exactly what Im talking about, Im a retired Electronics and Communication engineer.
Radio works well, only FM locally at the moment. Have to write some code to integrate it into my CAR-PC control software.
Stop stealing pictures from my site. Take your own.
Annoying I bet! Hope it arrives soon. I have had time to write software to control everything and now have the radio controlled from the steering wheel buttons along with the rest of my front end.
I asked for some programming info but have heard nothing yet, found a list of commands written in python code on Craigs site and managed to figure out how to talk to it from that.
Only thing I have a question on now is the commands EQ and Shift which appear to do nothing so far? Maybe they work in DAB? I cant receive that out here as yet.
Back on page 71, I posted an API I've been developing to help with integrating these radios into frontends. You may wanna try it out to see if it works for you. It was written for the radio module I got a few months ago so I'm not sure if its the same version as yours but might be worth a try.
HI, thanks for the info. I actually have my Radio module coded, finished and controlling the radio with every function except for the EQ and Shift codes mentioned. I will have to wait until I get in an area with a DAB signal to check the unknown two functions. I will certainly have a look at your code in case they are included there.
fork me, still nothing, damn, cmon mr postman, give me DAB+
One question re the DAB+ feed in Australia, does the radio show anything other than the station name?
For example, does it show track names or any other kind of RDS info?
From reading the specs on another board, it looks like it only has the station name, that DAB+ doesn't support packet data, only the AAC+ stream.
Just trying to get my head around what kind of data you get in conjunction with the AAC+ audio stream.

Gluten free--serves 8I have used this soup in many demonstrations and everyone loves it!
CHESTNUT MUSHROOM SOUP serves 4-6 (Adapted from Martha Stewart Living magazine)
I love serving this elegant soup to guests. For a velvety smooth texture, pass soup through a fine strainer after the mixture has been processed and before adding the cream.
2 1/2 cups fresh chestnuts
6 ounces cremini mushrooms
2 ounces shitake mushrooms, stems removed
2 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
course salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, halved
8 sprigs fresh thyme, plus leaves for garnish
6 cups homemade or low-sodium chicken stock
2 cups water
1/2 cup heavy cream
Roast chestnuts in 350˚ oven until tender, about 20 minutes (see roasting chestnuts). Peel; set aside.
Roughly chop all but 2 cremini and 2 shitake mushrooms. Heat 1 Tbs. butter with the olive oil in a small stockpot over medium-high heat. Add chopped mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and thyme sprigs. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add all but 4 chestnuts and cook until golden, about 5 minutes.
Add stock and water, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until chestnuts are falling-apart tender, about 1 hour. Remove and discard thyme springs, and let stand about 10 minutes.
Let soup cool slightly. Pass soup through sieve and transfer solids, reserving liquid, to a food processor or blender. Puree, in batches, until very smooth. Add the reserved liquid and process for 1 minute.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Transfer to the stockpot, stir in the cream, and place over low heat until hot.

Mast Grounding

Mast Grounding
In order to ground your mast you will need to drill a hole in your mast and attach a 1/0 Marine batery type cable to it and pull the boat out of the water and mount a grounding block on the outside of the hull below the waterline. DO NOT use one of the blocks that is instended for a ground for SSB''s. A lightning strike would blow that plate right off the hull. You are almost better off leaving the mast "isolated" because if you integrate the mast grounding with your boats grounding system you may end up blowing your thruhulls or propshaft out of the boat in the event of a strike.
You might want to consult Nigel Calders book about this, or Don Casey''s book on Sailboat Electrics.

The sentence in the new edition of Auerman that annoyed me is on p. 200, and reads: "ÐеÑалÑное опиÑание ÑÑÐ¸Ñ ÑпоÑобов пÑимениÑелÑно к оÑделÑнÑм видам и ÑоÑÑам Ñжаного и Ñжано-пÑениÑного Ñ Ð»ÐµÐ±Ð° ÑодеÑжиÑÑÑ Ð² ÑбоÑнике ÑÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸ÑеÑÐºÐ¸Ñ Ð¸Ð½ÑÑÑÑкÑий и в ÑÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸ÑеÑком ÑпÑавоÑнике.

Translation: "A detailed description of these methods with respect to individual types and sorts of rye and rye-wheat bread is contained in the collection of technological instructions and in the technological directory. Therefore, only a very brief description is given here as an example of several of the major types of rye dough preparation." I also picked up copies of Cyganova and Puchkova. Puchkova is going to be multi-volume, but now only volume I on bread is out. I would like to see the jpg's by Ershov. You can send it to me at email@example.com. Thanks! After returning from my month in Russia, my culture was not in good shape and I made the mistake of trying to bake by feel, instead of weighing the ingredients. The first results all were inedible and went into the garbage can, which I hate to do. I started a new culture and decided to follow the Royter recipe for Borodinsky bread. The result was not bad at all! My adaptation of his recipe for around 500 grams of flour is as follows: I. Zavarka. 100 grams rye flour 270 grams water 1 TB kvas concentrate (koncentrat dlja susla xlebnogo kvasa) (substitute molasses) 1 tsp coriander II. Starter 200 grams of starter at 75% hydration Add starter to zavarka when zavarka reaches 85 F. Ferment for 4 hours. III. Dough Fermented zavarka 205 grams rye flour 80 grams wheat flour 30 grams sugar 1 tsp salt Bake at around 325 F. for 1.5 hours. I'll post the original and give the URL a little later. Thanks, Ron |

Karas, Jennifer Lynn (1989) Long-range electron transfer in ruthenium-labelled myoglobin. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-06082007-092426
NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.
The driving force dependence of electron-transfer (ET) reactions has been investigated in protein derivatives of the type trans-Ru(NH3)4L-myoglobin (L=NH3, pyridine, isonicotinamide). In these species, the labelling sites of the ruthenium moiety were determined by proton NMR spectroscopy. ET rates have been measured from the iron(II)-heme in myoglobin to both a5Ru (a=NH3) and a4pyRu (py=pyridine) acceptors bound to histidine 48 (kET=0.04 and 2.5 s-1; [delta]E°=0.02 and 0.275, respectively). These kinetic results demonstrate for the ruthenium-labelled Mb system that long-range ET is reversible and that the dependence of the ET rates on reaction free energy closely follows Marcus theory. ET rates were also determined for high driving-force systems that were prepared by substitution of palladium and zinc(mesoporphyrin IX), (PdP, ZnP) into the a4LRu(His-48) derivatives of Mb. ET from the excited state MbMP* (M=Pd or Zn) to the ruthenium acceptor was measured by transient spectroscopy. Reverse ET rates from the surface RuII to the ZnP radical cation, (RuII[...]ZnP+) were also determined. The ET rates range from 0.04 s-1 for FeII[...]RuIII ET in a5Ru(His-48)MbFe ([delta]E°=0.02 V), to 3x10(5) s-1 for ZnP*[...]RuIII in a4isnRu(His48)MbZn ([delta]E°=1.2 V). The driving force dependence of the ET rates in the ruthenium-labelled Fe, Zn and Pd(His-48)Mb derivatives has provided information on the reorganization energy. Using Marcus theory, a reorganization energy of 1.5(2) eV has been estimated.

Happy Humpday! How goes? Getting crafty today?
At least I'm looking forward to creating a good crochet skull applique. I'm convinced I can do it. Lol
Sorry to be such a downer! :(
Feeling ALOT better today. It was funny I get antibiotics for my tooth, and not even 24 hours later I'm sick as heck. Lol. Oh well. At least the antibiotic is helping. Especially considering yesterday I couldn't work at all and I had a double shift. Still bummed about it, but today I get to go back and make that money again. My kids have been a big help too! They have been wearing their hair bows to school and now some of the kids in their classes want them too! So I have to get those done tonight when I get home from work. Amazingly enough, they have been paying for them too! For the younger ones, I set the price at $2.00. Figured it's a good start and most parents are willing to say ok. Other than that, I've been FINALLY working on the hat order that I've been trying to get to. Somehow the motivation bit me in the butt and now I'm on a roll. Over the next couple of days I should have them done and shipped. Yay!
I woke up 10 or 15 min before the se chat lol Slow day for us today. I have a dq due today and I'm almost done with the hat for my order. Just need to work on the final wrist warmer before that's done! I'm really tired honestly. I've been tired no matter how long I sleep :/
Aw teething is so hard to watch. Hope the tooth breaks through soon!
Quoting momof3inTN:I am hoping my littlest munchkin will have popped out that tooth that's been bugging him. He turns a year old a week from tomorrow (NO! They grow up too fast!). Extracurricular activities from 3:00-6:30 tonight. I'm hoping to hit the store for more yarn while the kiddos are busy. Then back home to rush through dinner, baths and getting the kids to bed. Wednesday afternoons/evenings are so crazy busy. I hope I can get a few hats made at various points today so I have a supply to work with but that depends on how clingy little Gideon is. :-)
I hope you are feeling better! :( Can't wait to see your new crochet work with the chevron though!
Quoting MissElissa21:I am so not getting crafty today. I am trying to catch up on some housework that I haven't been able to do since I have been sick. I finally figured out the chevron in crochet, so I will be working on that some more when I get Emma from school, but that's about it.
Yay for helping your friend with her shop! What does she sell?
Quoting christydwiggins:I've been helping my friend with her shop ideas today and getting everything together so she can have a game plan. Now I'm starting to add some ready to ship items to the shop that will be on sale + free shipping. Other then that I'm not sure if I'm going to get crafting done today. I got to get these items I have made up out of here before we move.
Yay for new jewelry supplies! I have been way busy and haven't been on CM much either - it's hard to catch up!
Quoting boxergirl86:I am trying to get as much housework done so I can make some jewelry, I just got some new supplies in the mail!!! I am also trying to catch up on CM I have been busy with family and health issues but I am finally back :) And am researching business permits/licenses for hubby, we want to start a landscaping business this year :)

Military of the Confederate States of America
The Military of the Confederate States of America comprised three branches:
- Confederate States Army - The Confederate States Army (CS Army) the land-based military operations. The CS Army was established in two phases with provisional and permanent organizations, which existed concurrently.
- The Provisional Army of the Confederate States (PACS) was authorized by Act of Congress on February 23, 1862, and began organizing on April 27.
- The Army of the Confederate States of America (ACSA) was the regular army, organized by Act of Congress on March 6, 1861.[1] It was authorized to include 15,015 men, including 744 officers, but this level was never achieved. The men serving in the highest rank as Confederate States Generals, such as Samuel Cooper and Robert E. Lee, were enrolled in the ACSA to ensure that they outranked all militia officers.
- Confederate States State Militias were organized and commanded by the state governments, similar to those authorized by the United States Militia Act of 1792.
- Confederate Home Guard - a somewhat loosely organized though nevertheless legitimate organization that was under the vague direction and authority of the Confederate States of America, working in coordination with the Confederate Army, and was tasked with both the defense of the Confederate home front during the American Civil War, as well as to help track down and capture Confederate Army deserters.
- Confederate States Navy - responsible for Confederate naval operations during the American Civil War. The two major tasks of the Confederate Navy during the whole of its existence were the protection of Southern harbors and coastlines from outside invasion, and making the war costly for the North by attacking merchant ships and breaking the Union Blockade.
- Confederate States Marine Corps - a branch of the Confederate States Navy, was established by an act of the Congress of the Confederate States on March 16, 1861. The CSMC's manpower was initially authorized at 45 officers and 944 enlisted men, and was increased on September 24, 1862 to 1026 enlisted men. The organization of the Marines began at Montgomery, Alabama and was completed at Richmond, Virginia when the capital of the Confederate States of America was moved to that location. The CSMC headquarters and main training facilities remained in Richmond, Virginia throughout the war, located at Camp Beall on Drewry's Bluff and at the Gosport Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia.[2]
Members of all the Confederate States military forces, to include the Army, the Navy and the Marine Corps were often referred to as "Confederates", and members of the CS Army were referred to as "Confederate soldiers".
Command and control[edit]
Control and operation of the Confederate States Army was administered by the Confederate States War Department, which was established by the Confederate Provisional Congress in an act on February 21, 1861. The Confederate Congress gave control over military operations, and authority for mustering state forces and volunteers to the President of the Confederate States of America on February 28, 1861 and March 6, 1861. By May 8, a provision authorizing enlistments for war was enacted, calling for 400,000 volunteers to serve for one or three years. By April 1862, the Confederate States of America found it necessary to pass a conscription act, which drafted men into PACS.
The Confederate military leadership included many veterans from the United States Army and United States Navy who had resigned their Federal commissions and had won appointment to senior positions in the Confederate armed forces. Many had served in the Mexican-American War (including Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis), but others had little or no military experience (such as Leonidas Polk, who had attended West Point.) The Confederate officer corps was composed in part of young men from slave-owning families, but many came from non-owners. The Confederacy appointed junior and field grade officers by election from the enlisted ranks. Although no Army service academy was established for the Confederacy, many colleges of the South (such as The Citadel and the Virginia Military Institute) maintained cadet corps that were seen as a training ground for Confederate military leadership. A naval academy was established at Drewry's Bluff, Virginia[3] in 1863, but no midshipmen had graduated by the time the Confederacy collapsed.
The soldiers of the Confederate armed forces consisted mainly of white males with an average age between sixteen and twenty-eight.[citation needed] The Confederacy adopted conscription in 1862. Many thousands of slaves served as laborers, cooks, and pioneers. Some freed blacks and men of color served in local state militia units of the Confederacy, primarily in Louisiana and South Carolina, but their officers deployed them for "local defense, not combat."[4] Depleted by casualties and desertions, the military suffered chronic manpower shortages. In the spring of 1865 the Confederate Congress, influenced by the public support by General Lee, approved the recruitment of black infantry units. Contrary to Lee's and Davis' recommendations, the Congress refused "to guarantee the freedom of black volunteers." No more than two hundred troops were ever raised.[5] However, President Davis believed that Blacks would not fight unless they were provided freedom in exchange for their service. Therefore, he waited until Congress adjourned and then stipulated by Executive Order than any African-American accepted into service on the Congressional Act must be a volunteer and be accompanied by manumission papers.[6]

African Americans in the Confederate Military[edit]
"Nearly 40% of the Confederacy's population were unfree ... the work required to sustain the same society during war naturally fell disproportionately on black shoulders as well. By drawing so many white men into the army, indeed, the war multiplied the importance of the black work force."[8] Even Georgia's Governor Joseph E. Brown noted that "the country and the army are mainly dependent upon slave labor for support."[9] Slave labor was used in a wide variety of support roles, from infrastructure and mining, to teamster and medical roles such as hospital attendants and nurses.[10]
The idea of arming slaves for use as soldiers was speculated on from the onset of the war, but not seriously considered by Davis or others in his administration.[11] Though an acrimonious and controversial debate was raised by a letter from Patrick Cleburne[12] urging the Confederacy to raise black soldiers by offering emancipation, it wouldn't be until Robert E. Lee wrote the Confederate Congress urging them that the idea would take serious traction. On March 13, 1865, the Confederate Congress passed General Order 14, and President Davis signed the order into law. The order was issued March 23, but only a few black companies were raised. Two companies were armed and drilled in the streets of Richmond, Virginia, shortly before the besieged southern capital fell. However, President Davis considered it imperative that Blacks be offered freedom in exchange for military service under terms of the Act passed through Congress. Therefore, he waited for Congress adjourn and then stipulated by Executive Order than any African-Americans accepted as soldiers under terms of the Act must be volunteers and be accompanied by manumission papers.[13]
Much like the Continental Army in the American Revolution, state governments were supposed to supply their soldiers. The supply situation for most Confederate Armies was dismal even when victorious. The lack of central authority and effective transportation infrastructure, especially the railroads, combined the frequent unwillingness or inability of Southern state governments to provide adequate funding, were key factors in the Army's demise. Individual commanders had to "beg, borrow or steal" food and ammunition from whatever sources were available, including captured Union depots and encampments, and private citizens regardless of their loyalties. Lee's campaign against Gettysburg and southern Pennsylvania (a rich agricultural region) was driven in part by his desperate need of supplies, namely food. Not surprisingly, in addition to slowing the Confederate advance such foraging aroused anger in the North and led many Northerners to support General Sherman's total warfare tactics as retaliation. Scorched earth policies especially in Georgia, South Carolina and the Virginian Shenandoah Valley proved far more devastating than anything Pennsylvania had suffered and further reduced the capacity of the increasingly effectively blockaded Confederacy to feed even its civilian population, let alone its Army. At many points during the war, and especially near the end, Confederate Armies were described as starving and, indeed, many died from lack of food and related illnesses. Towards more desperate stages of the war, the lack of food became a principal driving force for desertion.
See article: Uniforms of the Confederate Military
The Uniforms of the Confederate States military forces were the uniforms used by the Confederate Army and Navy during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. The uniform varied greatly due to a variety of reasons, such as location, limitations on the supply of cloth and other materials, and the cost of materials during the war.
Confederate forces were often poorly supplied with uniforms, especially late in the conflict. Servicemen sometimes wore combinations of uniform pieces combined with captured Union uniforms and items of personal clothing. They sometimes went without shoes altogether, and broad felt or straw hats were worn as often as kepis or naval caps.
Total Servicemembers - 1,050,000 (Exact number is unknown. Posted figure is average of estimated range from 600,000 – 1,500,000)
Battle Deaths (Death figures are based on incomplete returns) - 74,524
Other Deaths (In Theater) - 59,297
Died in Union prisons - 26,000 to 31,000
Non-mortal Woundings - Unknown
At the end of the war 174,223 men surrendered to the Union Army.[14]

I appreciate most music and love to dance, but Opera... takes the listener to another place entirely.
About us…
Help support your Meetup
Are you interested in seeing an opera for the first time and need some new friends to go with? Are you a veteran opera enthusiast looking for like-minded individuals?
Then, this is the MeetUp for you!
With this group you will experience Live Transmissions in HD (or recorded during the Encore Series) of operas broadcast from the most prestigious and legendary opera houses such as the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, LaScala in Milan, Covent Garden in London, just to name a few.
If you're new to the opera, attending a Live Transmissions in HD of an opera is for sure a wonderful experience:
Thanks to on-screen English subtitles for all transmissions and at least 10 cameras, you will experience the opera from multiple viewpoints: there are many different kinds of shots, special zooms and close-ups, cameras in the pit and above stage, and most fun, back stage.
Seeing an opera with so many cameras is like being on stage with the chorus and participating in the production itself.
This is a phenomenal experience affordable to everyone.
So go ahead, sign up, and you too will be able to say: "We "Met" at the Opera!"

COLUMBIA — A global shortage of radioactive isotopes used to diagnose and treat cancer patients has officials at the nation's largest campus research reactor vying to fill the void.
Scientists from Argentina, Egypt, India and 15 other countries are descending upon the MU Research Reactor this week to coordinate research and spur commercial development of the substance, called technetium-99.
The isotopes, which are also referred to as molybdenum-99 (a related radioactive substance), are injected into patients undergoing cardiac stress tests or body scans for cancer, heart disease and bone or kidney illnesses. The procedure is used in about 25 million medical diagnoses and treatments annually.
A month-long shutdown of a government-owned reactor in Canada last year created a critical shortage, with some doctors forced to delay necessary tests. The Canadian reactor supplies half the world's supply of the medical isotopes.
Also, the world's second leading supplier of the radioactive isotope, a reactor in the Netherlands, shut down in August and isn't scheduled to reopen until late November at the earliest.
The only other such licensed commercial facilities are in Belgium and South Africa.
"Hospitals and doctors are having to prioritize diagnostic procedures for really critical care," said Ralph Butler, director of the MU reactor.
"You have to do triage, basically," added Ira Goldman, a project manager with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.
Butler estimates the MU reactor could produce 50 percent of the medical isotopes needed in the surging American market, provided it receives the necessary Food and Drug Administration approval and identifies a corporate partner to help defray anticipated production costs of $40 million.
Further compounding the problem are the risks associated with highly enriched uranium, which is used not only in the cancer-detecting isotope but in nuclear weapons. Currently, Canada imports some highly enriched uranium from the U.S. for use in isotopes.
With growing concerns about the use of nuclear weapons by terrorists, nuclear scientists — including those at MU — are working to incorporate a safer alternative fuel known as low-enriched uranium, which is commonly found at commercial power reactors.
The U.S. Department of Energy has been working since 1978 to make it possible for universities such as MU and Massachusetts Institute of Technology to use low-enriched uranium. But some universities haven't been able to convert their reactors to allow them to use the safer fuel.
"There is broad technical agreement that (low-enriched uranium) is viable" for medical isotopes, Goldman said. "Anybody that would start now would use LEU."
An Argentinean reactor that sells molybdenum-99 to nine countries already manufactures its isotopes with low-enriched uranium.
"The more you can produce these isotopes closer to where it's being used is an advantage, in cost and security," he added.
Fueling the need for more production of what experts call "moly-99" is the surge in nuclear medicine technology, said Natesan Ramamoorthy, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency's physical and chemical sciences division.
"Use has been expanding. The facilities are getting older and older. So we need more players," he said.
